6 Weeks of nothingness...what do I do???

Well, I am officially off work and on Unemployment. My eyes are so shotty that I had to go on sick leave. This sucks. Obviously. I went to the eye doctor last week, a new specialist, and I am having surgery March 6. So, until then, I can't work. This is a blessing indisguise of sorts. It was becoming way too stressful trying to perform my duties as an Officer the jail. It's a risky job on normal days, it's worse not being able to see. So, now I am home. Alone. All day, everyday while my boyfriend works. I can see this being an issue. Although this was only the first week, I know that I put on weight. All I do is watch tv. I can't drive because of my eyes so I can't go and work out. I've been trying to watch what I eat, but that's hard too because I am so bored I just want to eat. Oh well. Hopefully the snow will melt soon and I can start walking. I'm hoping that the 5 weeks left will go fast and that the surgery will allow me to get back on my feet.

Hi Lisa. I was going to get around and email you soon.

Are you having a vitrectomy? If so, why the wait? Doesn't make sense to me.

I don't hae any answers as to what to do while waiting. But, as you said, it was also very stressful to work without having adequate vision.

I am so sorry things have not been going well for you.
